About Me
I am a lively and comedic person. I work well in a group and also find it easy to lead and be creative.
Acting for me is away of escaping from normal life. I love it because it gives me a chance to forget about things and transform into someone completely different.
I have suffered serious knock backs as a person having been bullied for my appearance but also my sexuality. However I have overcome this and am very proud about myself as a person and as an actor.

Experience & Qualifications
General Experience
As a young and enthusiastic actor in North Yorkshire, I have had plenty of amature experience. I have taken part in The York Mystery Plays, been part of the Harrogate International Festival having a major part in a Musical. I also have experience singing in local choirs and communtiy musicals.
I am used to extreme conditions as an actor having taking part in street theatre and mime for my GCSE Drama project, performing for two hours straight on Parliment Street, York - one of the busiest shopping areas.
I also recieved recognision from a local director of the Tv Soap Emmerdale for my work in the community and was rewarded with a tour of ITV studios and a chance to do some on set work with the cast and crew.
Although, I have never experienced professional work, but only because of my age. I am now looking to branch out into professional work and gain as much experience as possible.
Qualifications & Training
I have recieved a level 2 grade qualification for the Youth Arts Leadership Award run by Arts Council Uk and am currently working to Level 3.
I recieved the Lyons Best Actor Award 2010 for my work towards my school and community.
I have only recently begun singing lessons but hope to achieve grade 6 experience by the end of this year.
